After hemming and hawing over purchasing Elden Ring, I decided to switch it up and pick up Elex 2 instead. At least I know it will perform well on my PC.

When given the choice of Eurojank or literally anything else, Eurojank is always the correct choice. :yes:

I bought a xXxBOxXx (these things are still quite hard to get at MSRP even nearly a year and a half after launch), I don't have it yet, but it should arrive by next weekend. This will be my first Microsoft console. Obviously, I need something to play on it (back in the day consoles used to come with a game included, I don't think they do any more), so I ordered Forza Horizon 5 and Elex 2.

Is Gamedec worth 18 bucks? Looks interesting but I dunno

Is like a discount Disco Elysium.  I'd say it's worth $18 USD.

Farming Simulator 22 is on sale too...I may get that.

I don't know if my liver can handle another Disco Elysium.

See, that's why you need to be emotionally dead like me!  But nah I don't think the game's writing is all that comparable to DE.  It's a fun game, I wish there were more investigations to do as they are fun puzzles - the Farmville area was amusing to play through.  The "twist" is quite predictable, but not sure that is a mark against it.

Bought these plus Armored Core 4 for the PS3 but that one had no box so it won't get a pic.

The Resident Evil 5 disc seems to have  some scratches on the surface and the guy who sold it wouldn't have it back right after I took it off his hands*.

It installed and played fine though, so here's to hoping it will stay that way.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

I considered buying Cultivation Simulator, seeing how it is on sale, but it is a Chinese mythology theme, which should mean that Keyrock would be all over it. But he isn't. So I am worried.

Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

As much as I love wuxia, and I do, I am also SUPER GARBAGE at RTSs and any other type of game requiring extensive real-time micromanagement. I can do management in a turn-based game, but this doesn't look turn-based AFAICT. Given my extensive and rigorous information gathering and analysis, consisting of watching the Sseth video @Onerposted and nothing else, there is a 98.37165% chance I would rage quit and uninstall that game within a couple hours of play.

Question:

Would I enjoy Greedfall? 

I see it on sale.

There's a *lot* of trashmob killing that drags the game down into boredom, but when they actually give you an RPG, it's fun. Also some obvious budget issues with the recycled buildings.

Did you play Mars: War Logs, Technomancer, or Bound By Flame? If you did then you know what you are in for. I would say this is easily Spiders' best game so far. I liked it quite a bit. It's the most polished (still not AAA, mind you) and most open (still too many invisible walls for my taste) of their games. It's got a colonialism theme. You got the native tree huggers and the greedy colonists, though it's not quite that black & white.

I found the constant backtracking in Mars War Logs a bit annoying so never finished it. And since I didn't finish War Logs I haven't played Technomancer since I first want to finish War Logs.

Maybe I should simply play that...
